beautiful coral gardens that Ningaloo Reef has to offer .
This is a skippered sailing holiday that is fully catered with a menu of freshly prepared healthy meals to ensure that even the most energetic snorkeler has a full and very happy stomach at the end of each meal . Enjoying the evening meal as the sun dips into the Indian Ocean and the Milky Way emerges overhead , body pleasantly tired from a day of adventure and fresh air , all makes for a great sailing holiday !
We snorkel and dive amazing sites such as ‘ The Lost City ’, ‘ The Mooch Patch ’ and ‘ The Green Mile ’. The diversity of the habitats , from super shallow coral gardens and fish nurseries to deeper sites highlighted by towering pinnacles of ancient coral structures , is what grabs you . It is matched , if not out weighed , by the diversity of marine life . Over 200 different
44 Ultimate Adventure Pass coral species , and over 500 different species of fish , not to mention the sea turtles , manta rays , dugongs , reef sharks and migratory whales and whale sharks .
With water temperatures averaging around 24c , even in the winter , you are barely out of the water before being distracted by more and more marine life . Snorkel up to 4 times per day and see the big five …. Humpback whales , Dugongs , Turtles , Reef Sharks and Manta Rays on a daily basis …. this is just as much a marine safari as it is a luxury sailing holiday .
Sitting on the bow watching the sun dip into the Indian Ocean after spending a day exploring the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park : snorkelling , kayaking , fishing or wandering one of the remote beaches is what dream holidays are made of . With the advantage of time Sail Ningaloo explores further than other operators in the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park . This means you can access some of the rarely visited places and have the pleasure of snorkelling shipwrecks and coral gardens with no one else in sight .
Your days slip into a routine of sailing , snorkelling , exploring and eating as the world falls away , replaced by sunshine , blue seas and experiences that will create memories to last a lifetime .
